IMDb 7.4 Finding Connection
In a world where digital distance reshapes human bonds, genuine closeness has become a fragile treasure. Finding Connection follows those yearning for trust and emotional intimacy, only to discover an unexpected anchor in the algorithms of AI. The deeply personal exchanges between humans and machines give rise to questions that echo long after the credits roll. The film’s perspective remains refreshingly unbiased, inviting reflection rather than judgment.

TMDB 63IMDb 5.4 Pepe
Mario "Cantinflas" Moreno is a hired hand, Pepe, employed on a ranch. A boozing Hollywood director buys a white stallion that belongs to Pepe's boss. Pepe, determined to get the horse back (as he considers it his family), decides to take off to Hollywood. There he meets film stars including Jimmy Durante, Frank Sinatra, Zsa Zsa Gabór, Bing Crosby, Maurice Chevalier and Jack Lemmon in drag as Daphne from Some Like It Hot. He is also surprised by things that were new in America at the time, such as automatic swinging doors. When he finally reaches the man who bought the horse, he is led to believe there is no hope of getting it back. However, the last scene shows both him and the stallion back at the ranch with several foals.
